If you are a remedial massage therapist in Adelaide who is ready to stop going it alone, this is worth reading.

There are plenty of places you could work. Private rooms for hire. Busy day spas. Solo setups where you build everything yourself from scratch. Each has its place. But if what you are looking for is a professional clinical home, somewhere with real support, real colleagues, and real patients who keep coming back, that is a different conversation entirely.

That is what we are offering at Health First Chiropractic in Modbury North.

What Does “Health First” Actually Mean?

Our name is a clinical philosophy, not a marketing line.

Health first means the person and their health come first. We assess the whole person, not just the complaint they walked in with. We ask better questions. We listen before we treat. And everyone who works here carries that belief into every room, every day.

It shapes how we see patients. It shapes how we work together. And it is the reason our practitioners stay.

Why Do Remedial Massage Therapists Thrive in a Collaborative Clinic?

Remedial massage therapy and chiropractic care are most powerful when they work together.

Both disciplines address the musculoskeletal system. Both work with pain, movement restriction, and the way the body compensates when something is not right. When practitioners from both disciplines share a clinic, talk to each other, and genuinely collaborate, patients experience more consistent and coordinated care.

At Health First Chiropractic, that collaboration is real. Our chiropractors and massage therapist work as a genuine clinical team, not two separate businesses sharing a hallway.

A patient with chronic neck pain and headaches might see a chiropractor for joint and spinal assessment, and the massage therapist to address the surrounding muscle tension contributing to the problem. Each practitioner informs the other. Each treatment builds on the last.

For a therapist, working in that environment is both clinically rewarding and professionally energising.





What Patients Will You See?

Our patients are real people from Adelaide’s north-eastern suburbs, including Modbury, Tea Tree Gully, Golden Grove, St Agnes, and the surrounding area.

Many are tradespeople dealing with the physical toll of years on the tools. Others are office workers with chronic upper back and neck tightness. Some present with disc injuries or degenerative conditions. Others come in for regular maintenance care to stay functional and feel well.

Common presentations include:

- Neck and shoulder tension
- Headaches and upper back tightness
- Low back and hip pain
- Sports and training load management
- Work-related muscle fatigue and maintenance care

This is purposeful, clinical work. And because our patients are loyal and consistent, the therapeutic relationships you build here are long-term ones.

What Are You Walking Into?

We have a warm, established client base ready and waiting for the right person.

You will not be starting from zero. You will be stepping into a role with:

- An existing client base from day one
- Private treatment rooms in a purpose-built clinic
- Reception handling your bookings, reminders, and admin
- Online health fund claiming set up and ready to go
- A team that works with you, not past you
- A practice that genuinely invests in the people who work here

For a new graduate, this setting is where clinical confidence is built. For an experienced therapist, it is where good work is recognised.

Who Are We Looking For?

Someone who takes their work seriously, communicates well, and genuinely enjoys helping people.

You do not need decades of experience. You need the right values, a patient-first approach, and a desire to be part of something more than a solo operation.

You will need:

- Diploma of Remedial Massage (HLT52021 or equivalent)
- Membership with a recognised massage association
- ABN
- Current First Aid certificate
- Working with Children Check
- Ability to hold private health fund provider numbers (HICAPS)

Additional qualifications in cupping or dry needling are a bonus.
